Hillel Next Week

Shalom,

Next week, November 9, is Kristallnacht, Night of Broken Glass, the day in
Holocaust history that commemorates the November 9, 1938 anti-Jewish riots
that destroyed the synagogues, Jewish shops and homes throughout Germany
and Austria.  We have invited a survivor of Kristallnacht to be our guest
and share his story at 4 PM on NOVEMBER 9.  The details follow.

Next week Hillel is sponsoring a program Monday-Friday from special
programs for Hunger Week, the 2nd session of our Latin Dance Class,
Kristallnacht, and on Friday - the final Shabbat dinner of the semester.
The days, times and locations are listed below.  There is also information
about half-price tickets for a Bulls game - the Bulls vs the Celtics on
Monday, December 4.

We know some people had a hard time finding Coffey Hall.  The entrance is
in the middle of the construction area east of Mundelein Center.  If you
walk on Sheridan as if you are going to Sullivan Center, after you pass
Mundelein Center and the construction there is a sidewalk going left
(north) that leads directly to Coffey Hall (you pass Piper Hall on the
way).  There is a sign and arrow that says Coffey Hall.

We hope to see you there!

and escaped from.

We will also have a special guest, Gregor Darmer, a German student doing
his national service, instead of military service, by volunteering at the
Holocaust Memorial Foundation of Illinois as part of the German program
Action Reconciliation Service for Peace.
